Hi All,<br>
<br>
Is there anyway to make gdal read from multiple folders ? something like ogrinfo mydata/* ? where mydata has a lot of subfolders and any of those subfolders have shape files.<br>
<br>
(I have some folders with tens of folders with shape files that I need to display with to MapServer. Just wondering if I need to create a script or if there is a shortcut...)<br>

This would have to be something supported by the shapefile driver in this<br>
case, and it supports two configurations. One where the datasource is a<br>
file (one of .shp or.shx) in which case it provides one layer. The other<br>
configuration is where a directory is given as the datasource name in<br>
which case it provides one layer per .shx/shp/dbf set in the directory.<br>
<br>
There is no mechanism existing now to do what you want short of constructing<br>
a complicated virtual file collecting several directory based shapefile<br>
datasources. This approach would not be helpful to you, I think.<br>
